A day in the life of Kayla...

So last Friday Me, Cari, Brandon, C Aitlin and Ben (their friends) all went to New York City!! We woke up at 2 AM, got ready and left at 3 to go catch the bus at 4 AM!! We rode some big charter bus all the way to NY. When we got on we almost threw up!! The bus freakin reeked and it was full of nasty people who hadn't showered in years! haha! So there was barely and room for us so we all ahd to spread out..NONE of us couldl fall asleep for the whole 3 hours becuase it smelt soo bad! hahah! So we arrived at NY at 6:30 and we started out big adventure!! We got subway cards for the day so we rode around to places we wanted to go to. We walked around ALL DAY (for 13 hours!!) and then rode the bus home at 9 PM and got home around like 1ish. We got to see EVERYTHING!! since we were there for 13 hours we had plenty of time to see it all! We went to Time Square, Central Park, 5th Avenue, The Trump building, We saw break dancers (one of which kept telling me to call him and he was licking his lips pointing at me the whole time!! lol.) We also saw ground zero and we somewhat saw the Statue of Liberty! We also got to sneak into a Rob Thomas (he's a famous artist) concert..Caitlin sweet talked some cop to let us in! It was fun! We went and ate at this really neat restaurant called " Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde" And it was a themed restaurant. It had 4 stories and while you are waiting for you food you can go around and take pictures of all the cool stuff! There was this crazy "butler" named Gervis who kept coming up to me and he was like sticking his fingers in my ears, yelling at me and running up the stairs after me, and I asked him if he wantedone of my quesedillas and he thought I said do you want a kiss so he started sticking his tongue out at me, all up in my face and I was pushing as hard as I could to keep him away!! It was funny..he pulled his pokemon cards out to play with Brandon! haha. We also went down to China Town and barganed with the chinese!! They are so funny! They'll do ANYTHING for your money...I was a tough cookie to bargen with. I tried to get as much as I could for as little a possible! Is that bad? Hahaha!! So I bought some cute jewelry and some SWEET hot pink sun glasses! (as you can see in the picture) And I bought a designer purse off the streets from some man! It was so funny cause the whole time he kept looking around for cops so he was trying to make us hurry and buy one!! It really gets your adrenaline pumping!! Haha who woulda thought? Shopping!!! Lol. So I had an absolute blast and here are alot of the pictures..There is more on facebook if you want to look at those. But the pictures are out of order so they start from the bottom up in order of the day...

No I flew from Texas to here. Then we just rode a bus down to New York from here...it's cheaper than driving cause gas, there's a bunch of toll's, and parking is like $50 a day. So it was cheaper to ride...
